Ground Beef Pinwheels With Mushroom Sauce Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• STEP 2.In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
• STEP 3.Place the ground beef mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
• STEP 4.Spread the mushroom filling evenly over the ground beef, leaving a small border around the edges.
• STEP 5.Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll up the ground beef into a tight log, using the plastic wrap to help you. Seal the ends by pinching them together.
• STEP 6.Transfer the rolled ground beef to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
• STEP 7.While the pinwheels are baking, prepare the mushroom sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onions and cook until they are softened and lightly browned.
• STEP 8.Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute, until it is well combined with the mushrooms and onions.
• STEP 9.Gradually whisk in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
• STEP 10.Remove the pinwheels from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the pinwheels with the mushroom sauce on the side.
• STEP 11.These ground beef pinwheels with mushroom sauce are best served immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to evenly spread the mushroom filling over the ground beef to ensure every bite is flavorful.
• Use the plastic wrap to help you roll up the ground beef tightly and seal the ends to prevent the filling from leaking out.
• Let the pinwheels rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and the pinwheels to hold their shape.

Storage and Serving

• These ground beef pinwheels are best served immediately for maximum flavor and texture.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pinwheels in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the pinwheels with the mushroom sauce on the side for dipping or drizzle the sauce over the pinwheels before serving.
